PREDICTIONS LEAGUE: Results catch-up

Family commitments, workloads and a passion for the Winter Olympic, especially the British Curling teams have led to me falling behind with the results. Hopefully I can bring all the results of the past two matches and the current game with Orient on this thread.

PREDICTIONS LEAGUE : Colchester Results

The weather was the winner Friday night. Marcus and his ground staff did a great job in getting the pitch playable considering all the rain. Many have said that with the JPT match on the following Monday he shouldn’t have tried so hard. Trouble is that a club has to make every reasonable effort to get the game on and then it’s up to the Referee whether it is deemed safe enough to play the match.

So both teams took to the field and ground out a goalless draw on a heavy, energy sapping pitch. A point a piece was probably the best outcome.

PREDICTIONS LEAGUE: Peterborough JPT 2nd Leg Update

The chance of another Wembley appearance goes begging after a penalty shoot-out. As good as the spot kicks were in the previous round, they were poor against Peterborough.

Yet, the game shouldn't have gone to penalties. We had a stonewall spot kick in the first half, but for whatever reason, the ref bottled it. We should have been 2 up and Posh down to 10 men.

Once again, poor defending cost us the match. Murphy’s poor back pass in our own box gifted them the equaliser. Britt Assombalonga does not need much of a chance and he finished it well.

We were sitting too deep second half and we disparately needed another goal to kill the game. The game was crying out for a change but Mark Cooper’s options were limited Having said that, I thought the Town to a man tried their hardest. Louis Thomspon and Massimo Luongo ran their hearts out. Alex Pritchard and Yaser Kasim were strong in midfield. Murphy showed some good touches but at times looked out of his depth. Danny N’Guessan did very well but ran out of steam.

Oh how we missed Nile Ranger.

Guysawonga’s impressive run comes to an end as he only manages to pick up 7pts. We also have two new players with Tifosi and Dazzastfc both scoring well.

Oxon-Red and ctown_red both score 9pts each. Old-Stager, Hilperton and Dazzastfc get 10pts and jason900 comes home with 12pts.

The Man of the Match Award goes to our other new player and picks up the award after only his second attempt.

Badger58 still tops the Premier League with Rebel phish still in second spot, but it is all very close throughout the league. If anyone can put a good run together then anything is possible.

11pts was achieved by perth red, but that was only good enough for 9th place. Airframe-dtm and Norfolk69er gained 12pts and come in 7th place. There’s a 3 way tie for 4th place, Oz ashes, Old-stager and Redgollum. Guysawonga couldn’t add to his resent MotM awards but managed 16pts. After a few below par performances, NewburyNick reasserts a charge for top spot by obtaining 17pts, but that’s only gains 2nd place in the Man of the Match Award.

The Man of the Match Award this time goes to someone who has been riding high for weeks now and it’s no surprise that they currently top the Premiership. Cementing his place as top dog is

And gains his 5th award

Brit Assombalonga turned the ball in the net in the 75th minute bringing the level. Just one poster went for this time slot, but I think they were backing a Town late winner or a Posh consolation goal.

Rebel phish was not at his best, but dispite a late rally dazinblack could not live up to his pre-match fighting talk. Redgollum did very well against the table topper, but Badger58 has found his mojo again and ran out comfortable winners in the end. Glosteroldboy just manages to squeeze past NewburySandy, and with Helpme234’s capitulation it’s up to Mike of the Newbury klan to carry the flag.

NewburyNick moves up to second place but is still 11pts behind Badger58. Rebel phish drops down to 3rd 8pts behind NewburyNick and 19pts behind Badger58. Only 12pts separate the bottom 9 of the Premiership.

Helpme234 tops the Championship and Oldhamred finally joins the 200 club but remains in 3rd place.

Well done on collating all those scores Rebel, a task and a half, one thing though, where did the extra 'a' come from in my nickname? do i get an extra point as per scrabble for an A???

I don't know. Probably a replicated error from earlier.

An extra point? don't you think you've had enough over the past weeks.

Yeah, sorry about that.

I had a couple of duplicated names on my spreadsheet. I figured out who was who and corrected it, but looks like I missed it in the write-up

Four posters reached double figures this time. The same four posters were the only ones to get the correct result which helped. Rebel phish and jason900 score 12pts each, one point short of top spot.

The Award is shared between two people. Firstly, with his consistent scoring from week to week it is surprising that he hasn’t won the award more often

.*.*.*.*.*. Old-Stager 13pts .*.*.*.*.*.

with his 3rd award.

Old-Stager, Hilperton shares the award with someone who has tried all season and has been there or there abouts on several occations but never won, until now…

Badger58 is still top, he’s been there since the new year. Will anyone reel him in? The next 3 play musical chairs again. Old-stager moves into 2nd place on goal difference over Rebel phish, but NewburyNick is just 1pt behind in 4th. CraftyPig is 12pts back in 5th place.
Dazinblack’s MotM performance gets him into the Premiership and sees him above his arch enemy Airframe-dtm for, I think, the first time this season, albeit on goal difference. Red white drops down to top the Championship, again just by goal difference.

Great job as always.
Could you take another look at the LO results, I also had no scorer.
I also predicted that it would be 2-0 but as NewburyMike pointed out to me on Sunday (to his delight) I had incorrectly entered the score so got it wrong!

Thanks, Crafty

I've had a look and yes you did put 0-2 so took it as a Town win

You did put no scorer so can give you 6pts. Will be included in the next update.

Had you not suffered with temporary number blindness you would have had 18pts.
You are still in 5th palce with a total of 275pts. But for your slip up you would have been 1pt behind NewburyNick, and 2pts behind myself and Old-Stager.

Ok you awarded me 6 points in total.

But you have said I would get;
1 point for 1st goal time
5 points for away fans
2 points for 4 bookings
2 points for half time score
2 points for 3 goals to the Town

Which is 12 points (and not including the extra 3 points you also gave me for away fans).

Which puts me back in the Prem.

Thanks!
